My machine is like yours both 220 version. Mine is the European version and has a 1200 watt heting element for steaming boiler. Yours had a 1400 watt and the Australian version 2000 watt. It is very strange why Expobar don't put 2000 watt heting elements at European version. Can you tell me John if your 220 Volt machine can kick both boilers together or if it is like 110 volts machines with brew priority? Last but not least does anybody knows about fluke measurements (scase device measurments) with presure adjusted at 1,3 - 1,4 bar? I think that there is serious possibility to burn the coffee due to heating excange system of the E61 group. More bar at the steaming boiler means more temperature at the preahitng system of the water and also at the E61 heat exchange system... Anybody who gan give a serious feedback? I am wondering if i destroy the brew if i raise the pressure of the boiler? Why expobar although already have feedback that the machine has a weak steaming keep th pressure at 0,9 bar? Affraid of overheating water preheating and coffee burning means bitter coffee?
